Connecting the Computer to a Television (TV)

NOTE: To connect your computer to a TV, your computer needs to have an output port that matches one of the input

ports on your TV, such as VGA, DVI, or HDMI ports.

After you have the right cable, follow these steps to connect your computer to your TV:

1. Turn off your computer and position it within easy reach of your TV. Disconnect the monitor (for desktops), but leave the mouse and

keyboard connected.

2. Connect the appropriate video cable from your computer's output to your TV.

3. Turn on your TV and set it to the input that matches the output on your computer. You can refer to the user's guide included with

your TV for instructions on how to do this.

NOTE:

For laptop press <Fn><F8> to configure the display profile.

4. Turn on your computer.

You should see Windows displayed on your TV. If the screen looks stretched, or part of the screen seems cut off, you probably need to

adjust the screen resolution in Windows. If you cannot see Windows on your TV, you might need to re-connect the computer to your

monitor and adjust the screen resolution before you connect to your TV.

NOTE:

If your computer does not support the type of video connection you need, then you must install a new video card

that has the right connection.
